Tender Trap - Joan Armatrading

You come home after work and the first thing that you do Take me into your arms and you find out how I’ve been

If the phone rings, nobody answers

This is time is ours alone

We’re lying peaceful in the tender trap

La la, we’re lying peaceful in the tender trap, la la

I can’t begin to prove how much I want you

You’ve got to know

That you make me feel much stronger

Than anyone has the right to We’re lying peaceful in the tender trap

La la, we’re lying peaceful in the tender trap, la la When you walk through the door from a hard day’s work

And someone’s there to make you forget the nine to five

When they throw their arms around

You make you feel you’re alive

What other heaven is there when that sweet voice says

If the phone rings, nobody answers

That’s when you know working all the hours

That God sends pays the rent

But it don’t cover all your needs you need a whole lot of love

La la, and when that love is real and makes you feel complete

Whoo, the world is right, la la

I can’t begin to prove how much I want you

You’ve got to know

That you make me feel much strong

Than anyone has the right to We’re lying peaceful in the tender trap

La la, we’re lying peaceful in the tender trap

La la, we’re lying peaceful in the tender trap, la la
